Description
Summary:Wireless media for vehicular networking purposes with support for instantaneously delivered safety messages is the ultimate design goal of IEEE 802.11p. Even if the full standard is just on the final approval phase, some compatible equipment has been already available in the markets for a while, making it possible to evaluate the performance enhancements motivated the standard development. This paper presents the vehicular networking field measurement results conducted in the vicinity area of Finnish Meteorological Institute facilities in Sodankylä, Finland. Based on the field measurements, it seems clear that the design goals of IEEE 802.11p has been fulfilled, and true efficient vehicular networking environment with combined Vehicle-to-Infrastructure, Vehicle-to-Vehicle and even multi-hop vehicular network can be provided.
